Urban Laboratory launches Urban Pamphleteer #2: Regeneration Realities

Urban Pamphleteer #2: Regeneration Realities (pdf) features analyses of regeneration, practical case studies and ideas that address questions such as "Is it possible to reclaim and rethink regeneration as a concept and set of practices?". "How can we develop ethical, evidence-based and rigorous methods of regeneration that better serve the communities in whose name it is carried out?", "If economic growth, and the supposed 'trickle-down' effects of increased land values have come to dominate regeneration rhetoric and practice, how can they be rebalanced towards the needs and values of existing communities?". 

Contributors include: Duncan Bowie, Howard Read, Loretta Lees, David Roberts, Andrea Luka Zimmerman, Stephanie Butcher, Alexandre Apsan Frediani, Paul Watt, Alberto Duman, Phil Cohen, Isik Knutsdotter, Ben Campkin and Michael Edwards.
